Winter 2024 - Shapley really cares about the learning of her students. It shows through in her passion and easy accessibility. Just this past week our TA could not make it to discussion so Shapley ran it herself. I absolutely love Shapley, having taken Astro 3 with her in the past, and I took this class specifically because I knew she was the professor. Love love love love!

Professor Wright isn't bad if you go into his class knowing something about Astro, or are really good at pouring through lecture notes. However, he is not a good teacher. He is really bitter about not having a nobel prize yet, and constantly is defining things to his students in terms of things we don't know, and mumbles alot. He gives pop quizes, so you have to go to lecture, but its a pain every time.
